Here friends we come to greet you and to tell
How once upon former time
'Mong Northfield's rugged hills there lived
Tho subject of this sketch and rhyme.
There on farm and in n worthy home,
In love a mother DER him bent;
There too, II fathers toll he gladly shared,
And there to district school he went.
Yea, the primer and the spelling book he used
Can you believe, my young friends, that
This minister beside the teachers chair,
Once stood and said u b a6, and t dtt
(And, come to think OF It, In this new light
1t has, at last, to me occurred
That this, perhaps, explains his liking for
teacher long years afterward)
His studies all in school he mastered well
AS health and leisure would permit
And longed, when through the common
schools had passed
For u higher course himself to fit.
But though hard he toiled the means to gain
Wherewtl1 this thirst to satisfy,
His strditened circumstance did prevent
This cherished wish TO crafty.

less rapid and the aeronaut and his strange
apparatus foated steadily Town like &

accomplished In three minutes and twenty
seconds. Baldwin struck the ground with
some force, but not enough to iDjure BIN.
The descent varied about quarter OF a mtle
rom vertical, and the professor struck the
ground aba0t u mile and a half from wh%c
the ascent was made. Hisattempt TO collapse
the balloon when jumping failed, and 1t sosred
away skywsrd when reliey ed OF his weight.

~SENECTUTIS.

Why should his shadow come back, in the
rosy space
or the orchard trees!
The thin white locks, and the delicate
wrinklcd face,
And the cloud OF beesf
His bow was bent ia a moment Of youthful
rage,
When the blood could thrill
What was the end but poverty, censure, age,
And a broken will!
Or what was left but the cramp, and the
withered throat,
And the hating knees;
A garden bench and a stick, and a ragged
coat,
And a hive OF bees!
Then time indeed can ravlsh the heart of all
That II guards { o well!
Never! The fire was still in the sunken ball
As the eyelid fell!
But what is left, at last, when the race is run
And the soul has easel
An image comes to mix with the morning sun
And the sound OF bees!
